A senior Israeli official accuses the US of endangering IDF soldiers by leaking plans for the Israeli ground operation in Lebanon. In comments to Kan news, the official calls the leaks yesterday “dangerous,” adding that they put Israeli troops in danger.
“This was done even though the US supports the operation,” says the official, “but it is clear to us that the US is worried — and therefore they outed the operation to try to limit it.”
The official also says that “there will be no [diplomatic] arrangement in Lebanon before the end of the operation.”
